- Disheartened but Not Enraged- For more than a year now the people of the United States of America have disapproved of the way that the Bush administration has run the country.

The entire Republican state governement of Ohio was so corrupt that they were detroyed by scandal EVEN THOUGH THEY CONTROLED THE JUDICIARY and everything else!
